This lot is a nectary I build in a world called Kingsbury. I made it for third CjPlays shell challange. I wanted something more French x Italian, romanesque. This world is beautiful btw, very warm lighting, inspired by Ghibli production, here are some more screenshots I took in the past if you don't know how it looks.
As previous, it's on the exchange in simpack form or on google drive as package.
...
Stripes, need more stripes!




...
Here's floor plan:


It was quite small shell, but as usual, basement space rescued me. 😆

...
The weird arch thing at side is accesible somehow. Sims don't block there. There's small fountain behind it.



Some pics from testing:


That would be it. In CJ's video this lot starts around 19:55, but I recommend checking other submissions as well, because people are so creative in shell challenges.
I'm only disappointed that I didn't checked how my submission is looking in other worlds, cause in CJ video it looks way too pale and bland.
This one was in september btw. If you'd like to try in another edition, CJ usually gives about two weeks for submitting and make 1-2 shell challenges per year, usually starting in autumn. It's good to join his discord server, cause it's a lot easier to upload while being sure he won't overlook any work.

𝐓𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬
Pairing: Satoru Gojo x f!Reader
Day 2: Face Fucking
Warnings: MDNI, Smut, Profanity bc who do you think I am, Pussy Eating, Face Riding, Face Fucking, DID NOT PROOFREAD SO SORRY FOR ERRORS LMFAO
Summary: Satoru puts his mouth to good use for once.
You may be over Satoru, but Satoru is not and will never be over you.
❥ Gojo NSFW Week Twitter - AO3 Collection ❥
Discord 18+ - Twitter - JJK Masterlist


“Why are we doing this again?”
“Because I don’t wanna do the mission. If I win, you gotta do it for me.”
“Satoru…” You groan, exasperated. “Are you really that lazy?”
Your boyfriend grins up at you. “Not lazy, but taking care of a Grade 2 curse sounds like a fucking drag and honestly, it’s a waste of my time.” He folds his hands behind his head, yawning loudly.
“This is such a stupid bet,” you grumble and Satoru laughs.
“You’re always so tense. Either way, you literally come out on top, so really I’m doing you a favor.”
You cock your head to the side in annoyance, folding your arms over your chest as you glare down at your boyfriend. You wish you could see his eyes through that stupid blindfold he’s always wearing. You’re sure they’re positively glowing with mirth.
Your mind replays the events of earlier today and how you’d ended up in such a compromising position.
- - - - - -
It should have been a day like any other. You’d teach your classes, maybe take the students on a mission, let them do their thing. Then you’d find Satoru at the end of the day to go home together. But when you’d bumped into your boyfriend coming out of Principal Yaga’s office with a sour look on his face, jaw tight with irritation, you couldn’t help but stop in your tracks to ask what was wrong.
Your mistake.
“How would you like to gain some experience and maybe earn points with Yaga for a promotion,” Satoru proposed after explaining the situation. His wide, toothy grin shone brightly as he awaited your answer, which came the moment he’d finished asking.
“No.”
“Babe, come onnnnnn,” he whines, grabbing your hands. “Please, it’s an easy mission!”
“Then you do it!”
“I don’t wannaaaaaa.”
“God, Satoru, why are you literally the strongest and laziest person I’ve ever known?” You roll your eyes, pulling your hands from his grip to place them on your hips. Satoru pouts, and you’re grateful you can’t see those baby blues or you may have given in right then. His eyes were his greatest strength when it came to you, and not because of the power he held in them.
“Oh, I’m the strongest lazy person, but Suguru literally quit because he didn’t wanna do missions,” he grumbles under his breath. He crosses his arms over his chest. Satoru stands there, staring you down until you think you can quite literally see the bulb ding above his head. “Okay okay, wait. I have an idea.”
Your eyes narrow, looking your boyfriend up and down suspiciously. You have no idea what he could be up to, but you’re curious, if not a little scared.
“It’s just a bet,” he says as if that’s going to make you feel better. He must see the look of concern on your face because he scrambles to keep talking. “It’s just something we were probably gonna do anyway, but now we can make it a little more exciting.” He holds both his hands up in the air, wiggling his fingers and giggling to himself as though he’s just said the most hilarious thing.
You’re still waiting for the punchline.
“What is it…” You ask warily…and you regret it immediately when Satoru leans down and brushes his soft lips against the shell of your ear, whispering.
“Let’s make a bet. When we get home, I want you to sit on my face. If I can make you cum in ten minutes or less, you take the mission for me.”
A tingle races up your spine, a slow warmth uncurling low in your belly. You’ve never done that with Satoru before. The thought fills you with excitement. Your lips curl with a smirk and you whisper back, a challenge in your voice. “And if you can’t?”
“Then I guess I’ll do the mission, but something tells me I won’t have to worry about that.” He nips your earlobe, grinning when you yelp. You shove his shoulder, effectively pushing him back. You try to resist smiling when you realize he has his infinity off for you. He always has it off for you. Only you. Such a romantic.
You could always go home and fuck Satoru until the sun comes up like it’s a normal Tuesday night. Or, you could take him up on his offer…and make him suffer a little in the process.
Satoru closes the distance between you and loops his arms around your waist, pulling you into him. “So? Do we have a deal?”
You wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him close enough to whisper against his lips, “Take us home.”
It’s instant. Space and time bend violently around you and Satoru covers your eyes, holding you tightly against his chest as he warps you both home.
- - - - - -
Now here you are, naked and straddling Satoru’s chest, suddenly feeling very self-conscious about what’s to happen next. Your eyes dart down to Satoru’s phone on the bedside table, the big fat 10:00 timer blinking brightly on the screen. All you have to do is not let him win. You don’t want the mission anymore than he does and he needs to learn he can’t just dump all of his responsibilities on other people.
Satoru clears his throat, pulling you from your straying thoughts. “As much as I’m absolutely loving the view from down here, we don’t have much time before one of us…” he points only to you, “...has to be on this mission.” You purse your lips, the uneasiness you just felt quickly dissipating. Satoru’s hands find purchase on your waist, gently squeezing. “Look, if you’re worried you’ll smother me to death –”
“Tempting,” you interrupt, grinning with Satoru frowns.
“Anywayyyy, if you’re worried you’ll smother me to death, don’t worry about it. I’m the strongest.”
You stare blankly at him while he stares amusedly back at you. You’ve heard enough. You scoot forward, your bare cunt hovering over Satoru’s face for a moment before you effectively shut him up, dropping your core right on to his lips. A muffled yelp can be heard from deep between your thighs, Satoru shifting beneath you to try and get comfortable.
“Clock starts now,” you sing, leaning over quickly to tap the timer on his phone to start. The seconds tick down rapidly, Satoru just as eager as he groans into your center. His hands wrap around your thighs, spreading them further apart for him. His tongue grazes your clit, swirling around the sensitive bud over and over.
You try to stay focused, try to stare straight ahead at the damn headboard because you don’t want to give Satoru the satisfaction of being able to brag that he won. But it just feels too damn good, the way he works his tongue through your folds, how he kneads the soft flesh of your thighs, how he groans into your cunt, clearly enjoying himself.
Satoru gives your pussy one long, broad lick and groans. Your eyes fluttering closed and your head falling back. You bite your lip just as his tongue thrusts between your folds, sucking, licking and biting. Your thighs shake as you struggle to keep your hips from slamming down into Satoru’s face but god it feels so fucking good.
Satoru has always been…gifted in the bedroom. There’s very little he’s not good at and it’s showing now as Satoru’s hands graze along your thighs, around to your ass where his nails dig into your ass cheeks. He pulls you forward, urging you to move.
You roll your hips forward when Satoru gives your ass one last smack. He sucks on your clit, humming as his lips wrap around the bundle of nerves and the sudden choked sob that leaves your lips catches you off guard.
“Fuck! Satoru, right there. Don’t stop!” You moan, your fingers reaching down to tangle into your boyfriend’s hair.
Satoru doesn’t stop. He does it again and again until you’re a panting mess atop of him. He grunts into your core, squeezing your ass before smacking it hard. A strangled cry rushes past your lips. Your thighs tremble on either side of Satoru’s head and he chuckles, smacking your other ass cheek and relishing in the way your legs shake again.
Your hips rock back and forth along his tongue, Satoru’s fingers digging into the meat of your ass to push and pull you along his face. He wants you to go faster, go harder, ride his face until you drown him in your cum.
God, he knows what the fuck he’s doing with that annoying mouth of his. You were an idiot for agreeing to his bet because you can already feel the heat pooling in your core as the band inside your belly threatens to snap at any moment.
Satoru’s loving this, you can tell by the needy groans and breathy whines escaping him as he buries himself as deep into your cunt as he can go. It’s so filthy, the way his tongue laps at your core, tasting and relishing every last drop you have to offer.
You’re panting, leaning forward now to grip the headboard. Satoru stops suddenly, reaching up and pulling his blindfold off of his face to reveal his eyes. He knows exactly what that does to you, that you’ll fall apart in those beautiful orbs that hold all the power of the universe in them. Satoru looks just as beautiful between your thighs, snowy locks spread wildly, his mouth wet with your slick. He kisses your thighs, trailing soft touches all the way up to your center, leaving a gentle peck to your core. Satoru smirks when you roll your hips forward at the contact, then he trails soft kisses back down your other thigh.
His hands squeeze your ass softly just as Satoru pushes his tongue between your folds again and runs his tongue flat up your core.
“So good, Satoru. Fuck, that’s so good.”
“Yeah, baby?” He asks, voice muffled as he buries his face in your cunt again, licking and sucking your clit while you’re grinding your own hips down on him, pace harder and faster than before. You nod, the only sounds heard being the hushed moans that grow gradually louder as you grind your hips down against Satoru’s face and the lewd slurping of Satoru’s mouth as he laps at your slick cunt.
With one hand, Satoru spreads one of your cheeks. With the other, he easily slips two fingers into your drenched cunt. “Shitttttt,” Satoru moans into your pussy when he feels your pussy clamp down on him. He curls his fingers sharply, smirking when he feels your thighs immediately begin to quiver around his head. You’re so close. There’s no way you’ll make it much longer. “Need your cum, baby. I wanna taste it. I need it.”
You don’t even get a chance to answer him. His fucking phone alarm blares on the table next to the bed, effectively stopping his actions and your orgasm.
“Fuck.” You lean over and tap the phone, Satoru’s fingers idly pumping into you. You take your position with shit eating grin on your flushed face. “Guess I won –”
Satoru pulls you back to sit on his face, tongue darting out to lap at your soaked pussy.
“Don’t give a fuck about the bet. Need to make you cum,” he mutters into your core, pumping his fingers in and out of your cunt. Your mouth falls open with a silent moan as Satoru wastes no time bringing you to the most earth shattering release of your life.

have I talked about this before? I don't know. I feel like in emergency situations, Taco faints. Usually on command. I think she would do this if she thought her shell was about to crack or was cracking. She does this in a lot of arguments, and then feels bad because she feels like she's guilt-tripping. A lot of people wouldn't take kindly to her fainting, especially people like OJ when trying to discuss and debate the expectations of her living there. Microphone would probably get upset the first few times, feeling like Taco was unwilling to sort through any stressful problems, until Taco finally tried to explain her feelings, which Mic understood. Two, I think she's had a LOT of close calls in season 1 with her almost revealing her english. Like for example, I imagine a scenario where Mephone generates them a restaurant in between challenges. There's taco's on the menu, and she FREAKS out. Screaming, pointing, and is about to ask the wait staff what's wrong with them in her normal voice, but instead just babbles to keep up the act. Three, first few nights, she is TERRIFIED to leave her room. She heard about what happened to Balloon! She's not risking anything. Unfortunately this leads to her never coming down to eat anything, so Mic always has to save portions for her.
Hi Moldy!!^^ Welcome back, and thank you for sending in an ask!! :)
She'd definitely be worried about cracking and breaking again!! Big emotions scare her enough as it is, but there being a physical threat to them as well makes it worse for her! Her being able to faint on command is a neat one, I suppose it would make sense given her programming.
Oh my god yeah, she would definitely not want to watch other people eating tacos!! Especially if known cannibal Pickle expressed interest in eating them. Many objects were shot with lemons that day.
Oh absolutely. Forever. She is so so so so anxious about being around everyone, once she has a room she can hide in she hides. And she's probably used to not eating as much as she should, or at all for durations of time given her previous living situation, yeah? She'd definitely start to worry Mic, and there might even be some others that notice that she's basically up and vanished? Probably Baseball. Him wanting to include Taco and saying that her presence was needed in episode 17 gets me in the heart every time sorry that's just how i feel.
Also, I joined the discord for your show^^ It looks neat! :) I figured I'd join since we chat through asks, but if you're not comfortable that's totally cool and I'll skedaddle!

Welcome Warriors and Catters
Hello all!!
Are you a fan of Warrior Cats?
Are you looking for a place to roleplay ocs and join a community of
Well.. You have found your spot here at-
A NEW CHAPTER
A New Chapter is a discord based Warrior Cats roleplay, where we have:
Traditional Clan Roleplay (With a few exceptions to some new lore we have made)
New Culture and Lore for each Clan (Including festivals, customs and specific items for each group)
LGBTQ+ friendly! A good community here too
Questing system (quests to help you gain more xp slots and badges, earning fun new items)
And some DND inspired stats to help RP combat and hunting.
This is an older server, having been around for a year or two, but we are doing a reboot and even more lore leading into our Season 2, and looking for plenty of new members to join us.
DM me if you have any questions or want to join the server!
Also continue on to see all we have to offer.
“After years and years, journeys upon journeys, the clans found themselves back in the original forest territory, grown over and renewed. They had been able to find a sense of peace within the forests and rivers, the marshes and plains.
But peace can only last for so long.
There is something stirring. Something underground, something in the air. A disaster waiting to wake. Have the clans had their time spent here, Starclan forcing them to move along once more? Will the clans survive the darkness looming over the horizons?”
As stated before, each of the individual clans has some updated customs that our lore writers have been working on, and we’d love to show you.
Thunderclan:
The Greenleaf Trials - A form of competition and games for apprentices, the winner of said challenges gets to be Deputy for a day.
Den building
Courtship rituals (Showing skills of power)
Shadowclan:
Fall Feast - A day full of hunting leading into a night full of prey and celebration. Usually celebrated on the brightest night of Leaf-Fall
The Hunt - Basically a game of tag between warriors, while the younger cats and ones not participating celebrate in camp, dressing up in whatever they can find (think Halloween for cats)
Windclan:
New Moon gatherings, no work during the day and stay up all night to share-tongues with clanmates and the stars above.
Wall paintings/carvings - Using paste and dye like materials to draw on the sturdy walls of camp, telling tales of the older times.
Storytelling is a very important practice here
Winter Solstice (think gift giving and remembering their kin)
Riverclan:
Shell necklaces, each with a different accessory to show the personality of the cat and any endeavors they have been in.
Basket weaving
Courtship rituals (Gift giving)
All the clans are open! Roles such as warriors, apprentices, elders, queens and kits are all welcome. Each having a unique role for each of them.
Thunderclan is currently looking for a deputy, so if you are interested, feel free to audition! (Just note, these are auditions so you may not get the spot.) Again, if you are interested in joining or have any questions, please feel free to DM me!

Selphie's lounging on the couch with her feet in Irvine's lap, doom-scrolling Prestogram for wedding inspo, when a black and white photo from Quistis's account pops up. It's of a man facing away from the camera. Shirtless. Light-haired. Shoulder and back muscles bunched with exertion, in the middle of doing a pull-up. Oooh, sexy. Quisty, you bad, bad— Wait a sec. The tattoo on his back. It's… familiar.
Quistis is dating someone new. None of her friends believe it's Seifer.

As she studies him, he turns his head and meets her gaze. That's when she sees the trench of scar tissue bisecting his forehead. And after a lifetime of knowing him, she'd recognize the arrogance in his blue-green eyes anywhere. They stare at each other across the room for a few heartbeats. The music, the bar, even Squall at her back recede. It's just him and her, locked together in a tableau of awareness. Then Seifer bolts.
Two years after the end of the Second Sorceress War, Seifer is a wanted man. A chance sighting leads Quistis and Squall directly to him, though Quistis is torn, unwilling to send him to a trial that seems likely to end with his death. Until another option is brought up by the tribunal presiding over his sentencing—one that could give him a second chance and keep Galbadia happy in one fell swoop.
Quistis just wasn't expecting to get pulled into it too.

(COUNT)DOWN TO DAWNTRAIL FREE DAY ・*☆
When I made the (Count)Down to Dawntrail challenge, the one thing I was most excited for was the Free Day. I had specifically stated one of the options you could do for this day was to talk about how the people you met through XIV and how they made a positive impact on your life, and that was what I was going to do.
For me, when I started doing my question drives however long ago, I was committed to being the change I wanted to see in the world. While the XIV community is a cut above the rest in that people are genuinely interested in other oc's, ships and work(s), I have been in communities where that's not the case, and I know the sensation of feeling like you are putting your work out there, putting your work out there and putting your work out there... and it feels like no one is interested.
Equally, I have also felt the cut of anxiety as it goes, 'I really want to interact with this person, but what if they think I'm weird? What if they take it the wrong way?'
—So what if they think I'm weird?
That was kind of my whole mantra. I was going to make as genuine effort as I could muster to interact with the community, send asks to people and to try and learn/remember as much as I could. I wanted people to feel like someone was reading their work and confident to reach out to people they were interested in getting to know.
If someone wanted to take a bad-faith interpretation of my work, so what? So what if they think I'm weird; so what if they don't like me? Nothing I could do was ever going to change their mind, so why should I worry about an insignificant possibility that wasn't going to affect me beyond a block and a funny story to tell my friends? And if that small risk was going to earn me more friends with whom I could share more funny stories with... isn't the risk worth it? Be kind, take no shit; the same mantra I have carried with me since 2023.
Not only that, but if I could inspire other people to reach out and interact too, wouldn't that be amazing? I think we're all conditioned online to be afraid of being 'too much'; too weird, too forward, too outgoing. We all want interaction but are afraid to interact in case its misinterpreted. That sucks. In my mind, if I interacted—if I even showed other people who would respond to their efforts positively—and they reached out behind me, that was worth it.
Cultivating that kind of community is always worth it.
It's been a very healing journey for me, honestly. I've come out of my shell a lot, dispelling my own anxieties and coming to grips with my traumas that were honestly the result of just bad happenstance and the fact I was young—rather than me doing anything obscenely wrong. I have met lots of wonderful people, read so many interesting stories and learned so much about a myriad of fascinating WoL's (and regular ocs!). I've also met people who are interested in my work, even if I tend to showcase it a lot less.
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thank you for supporting me with the Compendium. Thank you for enthusiastically replying to my asks. Thank you for supporting me with (Count)Down to Dawntrail. Thank you for setting aside a little space for me in your day, because none of these projects would have a hope of working without the support of the community. That's the honest truth.
Before I go, I'd like to extend a couple of personal thanks:
—To SEAFLOOR (Tumblr Community & Discord): thank you for your constant support for my projects. A huge thank you to everyone in the discord with the social role who just wanted to hang out and be friends. I am honoured to have fostered a healthy, vibrant community full of wonderful people who uplift, support and help each other. Running this space hasn't once felt like a burden and that is entirely a credit to your maturity, kindness and accommodations. Thank you. Sdmin and mof are warm in my heart.
—To Firelight Trading Company (and associates): my best pals, I love you! Thank you for always being by my side. Thank you for all the laughs, the endless shenanigans and your unwavering support with The Fireside and the Parlour. Without you, none of my stories would be where they are. Thank you for making my life (and my roleplay) richer. You all mean the world to me, really. Even if you are little shits.
—To Pepper, the platonic love of my life: I love you. This goes without saying. Thank you for being my best friend for all these years. Thank you for being a grounding force and support, even if you're an introvert riding the coattails of a sadistic extrovert who loves thrusting you into 'situations'. I'd like to sum up our friendship with two images that articulate who we are as people.
Okay, okay. I lied (kinda). Here's the real one.
—To anyone who has ever liked a post of mine, made a nice comment, tagged me in a dash game, went to the Fireside, etc. etc: know you hold a special place in my heart. I really, really mean it. I am god-awful at sincerity, but I hope it reaches you all the same.
With that, however, onwards—to Tural!

Some more rambling thoughts on Celestia and the royal ponies:
Unlike Celestia, Luna is (By the standards of the divine) relatively neurotypical , she was just out of date but adapted quickly and easily. Her habit of dream walking means she might have some other stuff going on.
But in these regards, her trying to very much be like Celestia 1000 years ago may have contributed a bit to her fall in that she avoided expressing any of her negative feelings until they built up and exploded.
One thing Luna struggles to realize is that just as trying to be like Celestia was hard for her. Being Celestia is hard for her too, but before she realizes that it just feeds her inferiority complex & isolates Celestia.
In these regards as well, Celestia being written as autistic hits on a lot of familiar feels and no shortage of angst. Because imagine the way you love best being insufficient, or even considered 'wrong'?
Imagine walking on Fabergé egg shells for eternity, all too aware of the layers of barrier and social convention isolating you from others but unable to breech them.
We see how uncomfortable she is with a lot of how ponies treat her, but she's unable to come out and say it, there's no protocol for that and she knows how impactful her approval or disapproval is.
So she's stuck in this position that embodies reverence is the farthest thing from understanding. Not surprised she started resorting to orchestrating minor drama behind the scenes so she can have an excuse to break protocol.
In these regards her dynamic with Cadence can be fun to explore as well, cos Cadence in some ways knows her better than even Luna!
After all, Cadence is innately magically empathic, she can't avoid feeling these sides of Celestia the way Luna could avoid her dreams.
This means she is probably one of it not the most aware of the isolated existence Celestia leads, along with how she both loves so deeply but has a mind of wheels and gears that plays into how she presents herself and engages with any kind of problem she meets.
I recall toying with an AU where in this regard Cadence straddled this awkward line between both supporting Celestia's plans and trying to thread the needle to ensure they didn't accidentally (And with the best intentions) go poorly out of a misunderstanding.
IE, I vaguely recall a scene where after Twilight got the letter sending her to Ponyville Cadence showed up at her tower.
She then had to trot this very fine line of validating Twilight's concerns, and not fucking up Celestia's plan.
Celestia was also entirely aware she was doing this and was open with her at least in private that she trusted Cadence on this stuff.
But I digress, that's where I got the wheels and gears line from as Cadence was trying to contextualize Celestia's orders for Twilight in a way she'd not take them the wrong way and also hint that Celestia had plans for Nightmare Moon.
Wish I could remember the exact exchange or where the hell I was going with this, sorry, I have lots of Celestia thoughts XD
Yeah like!
tbh I kinda write them as both kinda autistic in a way but Celestia is the 'detached one who can mask as 'normal' most of the time' while Luna is the 'over-emotional and prone to outbursts when she tries to play 'normal' too long' type.
With Luna it's a lot. In her role as Dreamwalker, she knows that you need to confront your emotions and traumas in healthy ways and unpack them in safe spaces. You need to be allowed to feel.
But Celestia.... doesn't. She shuts down. And Luna's attempts to change that are met with the more authoritative Big Sister is In Charge energy. And while she will sometimes challenge her, as all younger siblings do, there are some times where Big Sister says things with such conviction that you do not fight back.
Especially when it's backed up with.... accidental manipulation. After all, look at Discord? He allowed himself to get so wrapped up in those emotions that he couldn't escape them. You don't want to end up like him, do you?
So Luna tries. Tries to hold everything back. It's for the good of the kingdom. For the good of everyone they care about.
But she's not good at it. Not like Celestia is.

Master Post
Small introduction - You can call me Apple which is my online persona (and yes, like the fruit). My socials are all applepicken and it’s different than my Tumblr because I had Tumblr for waaay longer than my new social rebranding a couple years ago. But you can find me on any other social platform using applepicken/ApplePicken if you so please! <3
It looks like I'm becoming more active on Tumblr again (thanks Hayley) so instead of changing my pinned posts weekly and losing them in the dumpster fire that is my brain rot, a master post seemed like the best solution.
Come join my Steddie-centric 18+ discord server!! (Link is down below)

Status: WIP, chaptered Rating: Explicit Parts: 3/4 (possibly more planned) Important Tags: Explicit Sexual Content, Fluff and Smut, Very Mild Angst, Slight Miscommunication, Top Eddie, Bottom Steve, Happy Ending Summary: Robin convinces Steve to go out for drinks. Robin also, much to Steve’s dismay, accidentally ghosts and then bails on him. Now he’s stuck nursing a drink at the bar with a guy who at some point found the audacity to talk to him. To his surprise there’s another presence taking the stage here, another person who comes to his rescue, forcing Steve to face a reality he thought he left behind and attempt a convincing performance with a stranger who is not really much of one as Steve originally thought. ~ Cue the lack of brain cells, pining while fucking and dumb men thinking they have unrequited feelings dragged up from the past, a desperate phone call that turns a night of passion into a one night stand, awkward miscommunication at parent pick-up, and a happy ending. Not that kind of happy ending… well yes actually, definitely that kind of happy ending.

She joined Task Force 141 under Laswell's recommendation, with praises even coming from Price himself.
